Connected devices play bigger role in online-video consumption

Nine out of 10 consumers polled in a multi-nation survey said they watch video content over the Internet, with two-thirds of them watching online video at least once a week. Accenture's third annual "Video Over Internet Consumer Survey" found that viewers increasingly rely on connected devices to access content, while a separate study by Nielsen found that 5 million U.S. households now qualify as "Zero TV." Tablets represent the fastest-growing viewing medium, Accenture found, a trend that analyst Francesco Venturini says will create monetization opportunities.
